Overview
- A video that circulated on Friday showed Red Bull driver Isack Hadjar push a paddock guest who tried to take a selfie as he walked toward his garage after the opening practice session.
- Mexico City Grand Prix stewards summoned Hadjar to a hearing at 10:15 local time on Saturday to examine an alleged breach of Article 12.2.1.l of the FIA International Sporting Code, the rule covering misconduct.
- After reviewing video evidence and testimony, the stewards found a breach but issued only a formal warning and declined to impose fines or sporting penalties.
- The stewards said five mitigating factors influenced their decision, including that the guest invaded Hadjar’s personal space, there was insufficient security, Hadjar was running late and the area was congested.
- The episode underlines ongoing tensions over paddock access and driver safety and could prompt teams and race organisers to tighten guest controls or increase on-site security.
